Now that the dust is (literally) settling around here, now the incredible joy of nesting projects begins! I have a serious long list of things I’d like to do (and finally the space and chance to do them! ay yi yi yip yip yippee!), ranging from hanging picture rail to building a series of tiny houses off the grid in the woods, compound style. A.Girl.Can.Dream. In the meantime, though (until we see if “bush hog”, “chainsaw”, and “ridiculous artisanal city axe that now actually kinda makes sense” make the cut on my Christmas list), there are some easy-to-execute little ditties that I can’t wait to tackle. First up: Jar System. Did I tell you? This house has a walk-in pantry (*passes out for a minute*). Here, some inspiration.
My sweet cousin in law- we use a jar system too. It works like this: the Surly Chef makes a Quart of oysters and I save the jar. We have a ton of “good memory” jars filled with cakin’ and bakin’ goods. I love that it still has the date range of the oysters on top and it looks cute too. Good luck on yours! xoxo
Oh My! I’ve got to come over and scope that system (and perhaps time my visit to coincide with the Surly Chef’s oyster output? I think so!). xx
We used to use old Nescafe jars but they are plastic now I think.
Something about the orderly rows and columns of color. So pretty.
